I was wrong about "Firefly."

I don't appreciate being pandered to, or flying. Those are the two topics I'd like to clickety clack on in this thread.

I can't stand what I've seen of "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer" and apparently the hideous directory made some TV show called "Angel" as well, but I don't know anything about that. The guy made some TV series called "Firefly" which nerds on the Internet won't shut up about.

The trailer for the movie based on the TV show that was quickly cancelled played roughly three thousand times before the movie appeared. It looked very stupid to me. I didn't bother to review Firely: The Movie because I had nothing to say about it.

Well, the Internet never fucking shuts up. Desperate for entertainment before I flew to Rochester, I grabbed two episodes of Firefly: Not the Movie and two episodes of Red Dwarf.

I actually like Firefly: the TV show! Where was all this in the movie? There is actual tension in just about every one of the episodes. I can't believe how good it is.

Flying is one of the most wretched acts a man can put himself through, but I credit the rug monster who churned out 14 episodes of this thing in 2002. You made my commute a little less painful. Good show, and I will now get on the Internet and note that you want $50 for 14 episodes of what was once on free television. And I will probably get monetized.

I like Firefly. I wanted to grab it for £29.99 on DVD, but after the movie came out it shot to £35. That is a lot of money: I'll pay that for The Prisoner, and perhaps even Blackadder, but there were, what, 12 Episodes? That's hardly 2 British series.

It was $34.99 at deepdvddiscount.com. Fuck, they want $70 for it in Britain. There are only 14 shows included! That is way too much money, frankly. Not all the episodes are that great, either.
